How Could You
She sits there wondering
waiting
If you'll ever see
She's tired of waiting
crying
How could you let this be?
Locked in the system
a victim of reality
Lost to the unknown world
She sits there
Trapped in her fantasy
She stares out the window
Missing your heartbeat
Longing for your arms
But you won't ever see
You've left her to live here
die here
Drowning in a wordless sea
So many people
around her
but she can't ever tell
She's walking alone now
always
just a hollow shell
They tell her to listen
Move on
With her twisted life
She can't find a reason
a value
nothing but the blade of a knife
It's not the answer
she knows this
but the pain is just too much
You left her to bleed here
lie here
when she only craved your touch
Up in the air she raises
the blade oh so high
So many people
she's leaving
without a single goodbye
Plastic as a doll's toy
her smile was
But you couldn't see
That all she ever wanted
just you
but you had to leave
She sits there wondering
waiting
If you'll ever see
She grew tired of waiting
of crying
How could you let this be?
